Is this only true of torrents, or is it also true of large
downloads? What happens if you try to pull a few megs of
something?
I've had problems from time to time with MTU auto-discovery
and TCP frame-size negotiations, and the symptoms are generally
that small-packet, low-bandwidth traffic is fine, but big
downloads stall out all the time.
Modern routers (including WRT54Gs) are pretty good about this,
but network drivers play a role too, and they do differ between
the various OSs you've tried.
